Gov’t Funding Status

• Current Projects (First 10 years)– KJS $420M

• ESF could fund, but Gov’t funding imperative• Establish the precedent

– KGV $240M• ESF could fund – Gov’t funding level to be tested

– IS $600-800++M• ESF cannot fund without strain on resources

ESF Funding - Balanced Approach
